Sinopse

Arthur Morrison's "Ultimate Collection: 80+ Mysteries, Detective Stories & Supernatural Tales" encompasses a rich tapestry of early crime fiction and supernatural narratives that reflect the intricate blend of realism and the macabre characteristic of late 19th-century literature. With a keen attention to detail, Morrison crafts compelling tales that evoke suspense and intrigue, employing a structured narrative style that mirrors the evolution of the detective genre, influenced by contemporaries like Arthur Conan Doyle. Each story not only serves to entertain but also provides a lens through which societal fears and curiosities of the Victorian era can be examined, particularly around urban life and the complex nature of morality. Arthur Morrison, an English writer and an influential figure in the realm of detective fiction, drew from his experiences in London'Äôs East End, where he observed the gritty realities of life. His firsthand knowledge of the urban underbelly, combined with a keen interest in social issues, allowed him to infuse his stories with authenticity and a deep psychological insight into his characters. Morrison'Äôs nuanced approach illuminates the complexities of human nature, distinguishing his work from his peers. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of mystery and supernatural fiction, as it not only provides a comprehensive overview of Morrison'Äôs prolific output but also highlights the foundations of the genre itself. Readers will find themselves captivated by the intricate plotting and rich characterizations, making this collection an essential addition to any literary library.

    The Paris conference was supposed to be the biggest moment of investment banker Adam Macias's career, a chance to impress his CEO and rub shoulders with their firm's top investors. Instead, Adam arrives at a glamorous rooftop party in time to see his CEO—and his career—go up in flames when a dangerous conflagration interrupts the event. 
     
     
     
    Now Adam is a suspect in the investigation into the life-threatening arson. After all, he'd used his ID to let a suspicious woman past a security checkpoint and up to the roof just moments before the fire broke out. With the French police circling, Adam finds himself suddenly jobless and the one woman who could provide him with an alibi, his best friend and coworker Jenn, isn't returning his calls. 
     
     
     
    Adam knows that only the mysterious woman from the party can save him but, once he finally finds her, he discovers a whole new world of trouble. There's a deadly and powerful syndicate operating in the shadows of the City of Lights, and now that organization has a target on Adam's back. Lucky for him, his new companion has the instincts of a killer . . .

    William Evans Burton was born in London on the 24th September 1804.  
     
    Initially set for a career in the church he attended St. Paul's School in London. At 18, after the death of his father, he took charge of the family printing concern.  He established a monthly magazine, which although a failure, brought him several theatrical acquaintances which then lured him towards the stage. 
     
    For several years he acted in low comedies around the provinces before debuting, to good notices, in London.  In 1833 his own play ‘Ellen Wareham’, was, somewhat unusually put on at five different theatres on the same evening.  
     
    In 1834 his marriage of 10 years failed and he decided to relocate, by himself, to America.  He soon leased a theatre, which he renamed ‘Burton’s Theatre’, in New York.   
     
    Three years later he established, with Edgar Allan Poe as its editor, the Gentleman’s Magazine in Philadelphia and wrote one of the earliest detective stories for it; ‘The Secret Cell’. 
     
    He and Poe had a difficult relationship, added to which Burton was frequently away in acting roles in other cities.  By 1840 he had fired Poe and then sold the magazine to finance renovation work on his theatre, which some time later failed.  Burton spend much of his remaining years editing magazines and writing books. 
     
    William E Burton died on the 10th February 1860 in New York City.  
     
    He left his fortune, among which was a library of over 100,000 books, to charity.  His separated wife from decades earlier challenged the will and created legal history in eventually gaining ownership of the estate.
